My Setup

kicad 8.0.6

How To Reproduce

  1. Checkout masterbranch
  2. Open PCB
  3. Update PCB from Schematic

Error Log

Error: P1 pad A4 not found in kicad_reformed_custom_IC:CUI_UJC-VP-3-SMT-TR.
Error: P1 pad B4 not found in kicad_reformed_custom_IC:CUI_UJC-VP-3-SMT-TR.
Error: P1 pad A1 not found in kicad_reformed_custom_IC:CUI_UJC-VP-3-SMT-TR.
Error: P1 pad B1 not found in kicad_reformed_custom_IC:CUI_UJC-VP-3-SMT-TR.
Error: P1 pad A6 not found in kicad_reformed_custom_IC:CUI_UJC-VP-3-SMT-TR.
Error: P1 pad A7 not found in kicad_reformed_custom_IC:CUI_UJC-VP-3-SMT-TR.

Explanation

Opening the schematic file show that kicad_reformed_custom_IC:CUI_UJC-VP-3-SMT-TR is used as the footprint.
The library kicad_reformed_custom_IC comes not with default kicad installation. I guess it was imported once, after choosing the USB C Connector.
The problem is one could only guess which USB C Connector should be used.

Open Questions

  1. Which USB C connector is used?
  2. Should we add a custom footprint library to the project? (including this one)

Thanks for raising the issue, I will create a separate repo with all my footprints, thats should help in the future as well. Connector is CUI_UJC-VP-3-SMT-TR

added necessary libraries here https://github.com/StuckAtPrototype/StuckAtPrototypeKiCadLibs/tree/master

closing this out for now, though please let me know if it works after setting them up.

Unfortunately, that didn’t solve the problem, but I found out that the symbol and footprint didn’t match

See my PR: #33
